2007, more to report

After yesterday's post I realised I only scratched the surface on what was coming out in 2007. Thanks to More Cowbell you can read an exhaustive list here of some of the releases to look forward to in 2007. A few that have me salivating are Interpol, New Pornographers, Radiohead (sorry for forgetting them Sean), Gillian Welch and The Wrens. Thanks for comments, any more suggestions are welcome. Most exciting Australian release I think would have to be Architecture in Helsinki. But the three i omitted yesterday that have definite details and should be big next year are the following-

You, You're a History in Rust-Do Make Say ThinkThe image at the top of the post is the cover for this extraordinary Toronto band's fifth record. Their previous "Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn" is a superb example of stunning Instrumental guitar work, so hopefully the new one will measure up upon its release in late February on the excellent Constellation Records label.

National Anthem of Nowhere-Apostle of HustleSean has already posted on this, but for any fan of the thriving Toronto scene its worth talking about again. Andrew Whiteman's (Broken Social Scene) follow up to "Folkloric Feel" will hopefully see him reach a bigger audience, he is a remarkable guitarist.We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank-Modest MouseI have no earthly idea how i forgot this upcoming release from one of my favourite bands. After their long overdue exposure with "Good News..." I just hope Isaac and the boys can retain that fierce desire to write good songs and not become lazy. Here is a live version of a new song.MP3:We've Got Everything
